@CatherineBoar13 That’s fantastic to hear! We also used @LullabyTrust resources (the Spot the Risks game). It would be great to see what worked well for yourselves & to share good practice points. Feel free to send an email to [email protected] with your contact details.

We delivered our first virtual antenatal group session yesterday evening with 12 local families.
Thank you to all of the parents-to-be who attended. We look forward to seeing you again when your baby arrives!

@HelenBroughHV Hi Helen. Please see my reply to Jennifer’s tweet. I would be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

@SulleyJennifer Hi Jennifer. We delivered this session via Zoom with 2 HVs. The session included: introductions so the parents could get to know each other, an overview of the role of the HV & the 0-5 journey, brain development, safe sleeping, infant feeding & looking after yourself as a parent.

We are currently in a medium risk alert level but we are very close to being moved into the high risk level if the number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population continues to rise. Do your bit to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.
